In addition, we see how Spencer is trying to make the community playgrounds safe for the children by organizing functions that will do away with the gangs. The film revolves around college students, where Billy Baker coaches' students of Beverly Hills High. The coach appears in the form of a god-father and wants to transfer Spencer from an underfunded school. Spencer, as well as his classmates, go through cultural shock until it reaches a point where he feels disconnected from the white and affluent students. It offers insights to support the proposal.
